Chapter One

The woman became pregnant without committing fornication or sleeping with a man. She had a depraved appetite for wisdom and scholarship, and she was nauseated by earthly fortunes and powers. She visited a potter when she was in her first month of pregnancy. The potter informed the woman about the creation objectives.

The Lord created man from the earth,

yet man will be returned to the earth again.

The Lord destined a special time for man

and enforced all the things on the earth to be under man's control.

The Lord made man as powerful as himself

and created man like himself.

The Lord placed the dread of man in the heart of all other creatures

and made man dominant over wild animals.

Man was given the ability to use the five powers.

The sixth power, intelligence, was also granted to man,

as was the seventh power, wisdom, which includes all other powers.

He gave man the power of judgment, a tongue, eyes,

ears, and a heart for thinking.

He granted man knowledge and intelligence

and taught him vice and virtue.

He placed its fear within mankind's heart

to show them its magnificence.

And man was supposed to appreciate the Lord's favors.

The human beings would glorify his sacred names

and narrate his great favors.

He granted them knowledge and religion

to teach them that they are mortal.

He made an eternal agreement with man

and taught him the commandments.

Man's eyes saw his glory,

and his ears heard his song.

He said to man, "Avoid the evil,"

and gave mankind some commands regarding how to behave with each other.

The Lord created the man from the earth, and then he blew into the man from his soul and made him similar to himself and taught him names. He suggested "the loan" to the earth and the sky, but they didn't accept it; however, the man accepted it, and the Lord ordered all of the angels to lie prostrate for the man. The face of the man is always covered by a halo of grief, and from the first days of history, whenever he leaves his rigorous activities and becomes lonely and begins to think about himself and the world, a pessimistic scowl and a wave of stress appears on his face, because he has always considered himself beyond this world, but now he understands that existence is not enough. His emotions transcend this life and continue past where everything ends—to the eternal. Suddenly, he finds a substantial unfamiliarity with his pure self. That unfamiliarity and inability to connect with his pure self disappoints him, and he becomes nostalgic deep within his heart.

The Lord created the man from earth. The Lord made the man using an inferior sperm within the womb. The Lord created an earthy body and face for the man. He empowered this earthy portrait with his soul and light, and he enlightened him with life. The Lord granted him thought, an understanding brain, and seeing eyes.

The Lord created the man's essence as pure, and he created the man's thumbs by arts. He cooked the raw earth he had used to create the man with knowledge, and he dried it with the breeze of justice. He gave beauty to the man's hair and bestowed eloquence upon his tongue. He gave his stomach avarice and granted his legs resistance. He created his face from a beautiful and rosy earth, and he created his lips with laughter and tears. The Lord created the man completely and flawlessly.

But the Lord also gave the man anger and lust.

From the beginning, man has been looking for a way to the beyond; he has raised his hand to the sky or has stared at the sun or has gazed at the restless and mysterious flames of the fire, and he has sung songs of his desire for salvation with enthusiasm and sincerity. He has seen the signs of the beyond in the face of the sky, the sun, and flame. And he has considered the light, which is unfamiliar with the blind and dark essence of this earthy home, a shadow from the skies. The man who is lost in this unfamiliar earthy land considers himself a prisoner under the foreign and small sky and is hastily searching for his "lost paradise." He has lain prostrate for everything that has held a sign of that paradise. Without any defect in his belief in this unknown place, he looks for other signs without feeling tiredness. His grieving cries have never come to an end. The contradictory answers, the cries under the Sumer sky, Buddha's agonizing attempts at extrication from practia and movement to nirvana, grievous cries of "Ali" in the lonely and dark palm groves in the Medina, and the severe anger of Sartre and Camus because of life's absurdity—all show the stressful soul of mankind, who finds himself a foreigner, lonely and imprisoned in the world, because he assumes that this world is not his home.

Whenever man thinks about himself and the world, he sinks into great assumptions and deep thoughts. The sadness resides in his heart, and without any joy, he stays grievous in his loneliness, and teardrops flow on his cheeks. Why does this happen? Why the does the sublimity of soul, thought, and art correlate with grief and sorrow? Why do human beings love this grief? Because only the aware and sublime soul that feels the poverty and shame of life can feel this grief. Why is it so? Why do they love unawareness and intoxication? Isn't it because it is only in this state that man forgets everything about living and its difficulties and its ugliness, and because it is only in this state that man can forget his loneliness? Why does man love the lofty souls, grief, autumn, silence, and loneliness? Isn't it because in this state man feels closer to the boundaries of this world? Man has always been longing for an eternal absolute, perpetuity, brightness, paradise and eternity, timelessness, placelessness, limitlessness, colorlessness, absolute independence, sacredness, absolute freedom, belief, love, beauty, absolute goodness, the best good, the purest pure, etc. And he has always tried to understand his real ego by way of these lofty and supernatural meanings, and he is hardly dependent to them. This world is relative, limited, dependent, ugly, grievous, impure, and cold. It is dark-hearted, temporary, and the slave of time and the place, so it is not compatible with man's lofty desires and elevated soul. From where have these meanings come to man's heart? Where is the source of these astonishing fountains that are flowing in man's heart? His restless and thirsty soul is left in this desert, which is full of mirages, and he has lost his way home. So from the beginning, pessimism, concern, rebellion, and love have been carved within his soul, and deep inside his soul the "concern" has sheltered, and this shelter is the origin of three astonishing and spiritual sources: religion, mysticism, and art.

After the first month, the woman's face was worried and distressed.

Her face was filled with chastity.

In the second month she visited a skillful painter who knew about philosophy, art, and wisdom.

The painter told her about the eternal and increate painter. The world creator saturated his brush with the "eye" color and the "eyesight" water, and painted a pair of beautiful and attractive eyes; their colors were green, blue, and black. After saturating his brush with scent and perfume, he painted the forehead and the breast. He saturated his brush with "power" color and painted the body, the legs, the arms, and the hands. For this he used the red, yellow, white, and black colors....
